CURE Quote
If the schizophrenia was cured by specific treatment it was reclassified as a neurological disease. In 1900, the four main schizophrenias were general paresis of the insane (GPI), scurvy, pellagra and dementia praecox. Penicillin cured GPI and paretics were rediagnosed as a neurological syndrome. Diet and vitamin B-3 cured pellagra and these schizophrenics were rediagnosed then as pellagrins. Scorbutic psychoses vanished as did scurvy and dementia praecox was replaced by schizophrenia. The only schizophrenics that psychiatrists continued to treat were the ones with no cause and no specific treatment.
